Fallout TV show in the works at Amazon

[Big Molio]

I quite like the Fallout games. I like The Elder Scrolls more, but I have played and enjoyed Fallout 3, 4 and New Vegas. The destroyed 1950's America vibe that they run with is really nice.

 

But for me, the allure of open world RPG games like these is that you build your own story. The customisation, journey and route through the game is unique to each player.

 

It loses its appeal somewhat for me as a TV or cinematic experience because that becomes locked down into somebody else's story, one that you have no way of interacting with.

That is something that is definitely lost when you turn a game into a TV show, especially an RPG, but for me personally a big part of why I love RPG's like Fallout is learning the story of the world and the characters in it, which are both things a show should be able to do.

Yet so many people follow streamers....I love watching casters games of AoE4

Isn't that a bit the same as watching a tv/mov of a game?

I've been looking forward to this since early rumors.   I may be a huge Fallout fan but all in all this can just boil down to a post-apocalyptic story...which is always fun.

I wonder in what city it will take place. I wouldn't mind if it's Washington DC, but Boston or Las Vegas doesn't have to be. New York has been a thing in way too many shows, so hopefully not New York. Maybe they go a completly other route and it's London or something, that would be funny. I would also like it if the next Fallout game takes place outside of US for a change. But it should be an english language country of course, so maybe Canada, Australia, New Zealand well or UK yeah.
